How many steps are in a kilometre?

The average person takes approximately 1,312 steps per kilometre, based on an average stride length of 76 cm. Taller people have longer strides and take fewer steps per km.

Does walking speed affect calorie burn?

Yes. Walking faster burns more calories per minute but the difference per kilometre is smaller. Running burns significantly more calories than walking the same distance.

Do fitness trackers accurately count steps?

Modern pedometers and smartwatches are reasonably accurate (within 10%) for walking. Accuracy decreases for activities like cycling or driving.

Steps to Calories Calculator

The Steps to Calories Calculator converts your daily step count into an estimated calorie burn. The number of calories burned per step depends on your body weight — heavier individuals burn more calories per step. This calculator uses a well-validated MET-based approach assuming an average walking pace and stride length.
